Senior Sammi Curry steals second, earning an extra base and putting herself in scoring position.

Despite the coldest day on record in May, softball traveled to Wills Point as planned and played their playoff game yesterday.

Playing against Whitehouse, who defeated Waxahachie last week, the Leopards fell behind in the first inning, allowing three doubles and two runs. Although senior pitcher Brittany Lewis earned back one run with a home run, the first inning finished with Whitehouse in the lead 2-1.

However, Whitehouse didn’t stay in the lead very long. After another home run by Lewis and several two-out rallies, the Leopards run-ruled Whitehouse 14-4 in the bottom of the fifth inning.

The second game of the two out of three game series will be played tonight at Wills Point Park, at 7 p.m. If the Leopards win tonight, they will play either Ennis or Royse City in the Regional Quarterfinals next week.

Ginger Hervey, Editor-in-chief
Ginger Hervey cried on her eleventh birthday when she didn't get a Hogwarts letter. If there was an Olympic event for sitting around in sweatpants, eating ice cream, and watching old romance movies, she would make her country proud. She is an expert at procrastination and overloads her schedule past what any rational person would- as a result, she frequently tests how little sleep a teenager can get and still function on a basic level. To her, there is no such thing as "too old to trick-or-treat" on Halloween. To instantly be liked by Ginger, bring her chocolate chip cookies and/or mention the TV show How I Met Your Mother. She is a senior who, in spite of having ambitious plans of going to law school, can be found on weekends experimentally baking with her friends and watching Disney movies until she falls asleep on the couch. Entering her sixth and final year of high school newspaper, Ginger is thrilled to have such a dedicated and fun staff to work with, especially her co-editor, the sensational Liz Schasel. She hopes to leave a legacy of prestigious journalism and witty poll questions behind her.
